#103872 - 2003-08-17 07:00 PM Using a Scheduled Task to run KIX
johnt johnt Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-03-01 Posts: 6	I'm trying to setup a scheduled task to call a script to log off users at a certain time. Does anyone know how to use a scheduled task to run a kix script? I was successful using PSSHUTDOWN through task scheduler, however this tool shutdown the computer if the user was logged out.

johnt johnt Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-03-01 Posts: 6	I'm using this to schedule the task. code: shell '%COMSPEC% /c at 04:00 /interactive /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S ""%WINDIR%\wkix32.exe"" ""winexit.kix"" This works great on an XP worksatation, but the 2000 workstation fails. I'm using SMS to copy the files to the workstations, so it can run with admin rights.

johnt johnt Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-03-01 Posts: 6	I found the problem I was having. Because the task is using the system account it was hanging on part of the script that was seeing if a network drive existed. code: $Selection = MessageBox("This PC Needs to be logged out. Please save your work and log off. Would you like to log off now?","Time to Logoff",36, 15) If $Selection = 6 LogOff(0) Endif If $Selection = -1 LogOff(0) Endif Does anyone know how I can prevent this from running if no one's logged in to the PC without looking at the network?

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I would actually change your code to: code: $Selection = MessageBox("This PC Needs to be logged out. Please save your work and log off. Would you like to log off now?","Time to Logoff",36, 15) If $Selection = 6 or $Selection = -1 LogOff(0) Endif what comes to logged on users... hmm, at least you can see the connections with "net sessions" _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	You cannot use the MESSAGEBOX with scheduled tasks as the message box will show up for the account running the task, not the account that is logged in for an interactive session. You will need to use SendMessage() and send it to the local computer if you want messages displayed to a potentially logged-in user. See also the UDF Forum for UDFs that determine whether there are users logged in. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
